Leti Language
Leti is an Austronesian language spoken on the island of Leti in Maluku. Although it shares a lot of vocabulary with the neighboring Luang language, and is marginally mutually intelligible, it is not clear that it is more closely related to Luang than to other Southwest Maluku languages.
Fewer than 1% of Leti speakers are literate in Leti, though between a quarter and a half are literate in another language.
Famous quotes containing the word language:
“Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man.”
—Martin Heidegger (1889–1976)
